Windows 8 Consumer Preview - First Apps Contest Winners

Video courtesy microsoft.com

Its Windows re-imagined and reinvented from a solid core of Windows 7 speed and reliability. It's an all-new touch interface. It's a new Windows for new devices. And it's easy to try now—whether you're installing it for the first time, or moving from Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

The Windows 8 Release Preview is now available for folks to download.

The Windows 8 Release Preview marks the final phase of development before releasing to manufacturing (RTM), however we're not finished just yet and there is more to come (and more work to be done). However, we are feeling really good about the progress of the product today.

Windows 8 represents a re-imagining of Windows. As you can see in this video, Windows 8 delivers a fast, fluid and no-compromise experience.

There are many improvements and refinements across the Windows 8 Release Preview that folks will see right away, while others are under the hood. For instance, you will find more personalization options for the Start screen (including more colours!), improved multi-monitor support, and new Family Safety features to name just a few. People will also notice and enjoy improvements to the Mail, Photos, and People apps and see new Bing-powered Travel, News and Sports apps. Internet Explorer 10 also has new capabilities in the Windows 8 Release Preview like "flip ahead" and a fully integrated secure and power-optimized Adobe Flash Player. IE10 is also the first browser to feature Do Not Track "on" by default. The improvements and refinements seen in the Windows 8 Release Preview result in a better overall experience that I think everyone will enjoy!
